Topic: InspirationalPoems





If you never grab the wheel how can you learn to drive…
How can you test the waters unless you dive…

You can’t learn new things if you don’t open a book…
How can you see the wealth of knowledge unless you first look…

You can’t dribble a ball until you pick it up…
You cannot win if you don’t test your luck

You cannot get up if you’re never down…
You’ll never know a smile if you never frown…

You’ll never love unless you’ve lost the one…
You’ll never know wealth if you’ve always had none…

You’ll never know your potential if you stay the same…
You’ll never know anyone if you don’t get their name…

You’ll never know yourself unless you look in the mirror…
You’ll never forget until you think much clearer…

You’ll never get older if you haven’t lived…
You’ll never know happiness unless you give…

You’ll never love anyone until you love yourself…
Then and only then will you know wealth…

Try…
